Brazil nuts are the No. 1 food source on the planet for selenium. Enjoying just a couple of Brazil nuts per day can be all you need — and even work better than a supplement — to maintain a healthy level of selenium in your body. Selenium is crucial to many bodily functions from mood to inflammation.

Though commonly called nuts, Brazil nuts are actually seeds from the Brazil nut tree, one of the largest trees growing upward of 200 feet found in the Amazon. These trees are so incredibly large that just one can produce a whopping 250 pounds of nuts in a year. The nut itself resembles a coconut and can reach up to five pounds, holding 12–20 seeds in orange-like segments that are then split during harvesting.

Brazil nuts are great for inflammatory issues in the body because they’re tremendous anti-inflammatory foods. Brazil nuts, as do most nuts, contain ellagic acid. Why is this important? Ellagic acid has high anti-inflammatory properties in the body and can even be neuroprotective.
